Joe still considers this performance one of the greatest of his Career.

His forthcoming UK tour follows hot on the heels of Joe’s critically acclaimed Salute To The British Blues Explosion tour that saw the American paying homage to the music of Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

The April 2017 UK tour will feature Joe alongside a hand-picked group of world-class musicians playing material from his latest album Blues of Desperation plus classic Bonamassa fan favourites.

Genius, brilliant, breathtaking and electrifying...that's how critics and fans alike refer to one of the world's hardest working musicians.
